When you look at any residential or commercial building, you’ll likely see either shingle or metal roofing above the structure. Although there are many other types of roofing materials available, these two options have remained popular for decades — and for good reason!
Asphalt shingle roofing is especially popular for its durability, aesthetic versatility, light weight, and inexpensiveness. Although shingles can be made of many different types of materials, asphalt shingles are by far the most popular. Shingle roofing systems can come in a wide variety of colors and styles, making them a good match for virtually any home or business that wants them. They are also resistant to extreme weather conditions, pest infestations, rot, and other common hazards.
On the other hand, metal roofs are popular because of their superior durability, longevity, and eco-friendliness. Metal roofing materials can effortlessly withstand severe weather, pest infestations, and even fire, and they can last for decades with minimal maintenance requirements. Metal roofs also help property owners save money by reducing heat transfer, which can reduce heating and cooling bills in the long run.
If your existing roof is nearing the end of its lifespan and you need to select a new type of roofing material, you can’t go wrong by choosing asphalt shingles or metal.
